Hi folks, Tonight I discovered an issue with tcpwrappers. I do not think it's a problem with Bacula, but I do not understand the cause of the problem.
I was trying to backup xeon. I kept getting "Fatal error: Failed to authenticate Storage daemon." errors. Eventually, I tracked it down to a tcpwrappers issue. Attempts to telnet resulted in: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ telnet polo.unixathome.org 9102 Trying 192.168.0.23... Connected to polo.unixathome.org. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. With nothing in the logs in polo. Creating a special entry in the /etc/hosts.allow file solved the problem: polo-sd : .unixathome.org 192.168.0.18 : allow where the IP address in question is that of xeon. I think this may be a DNS issue. xeon has always been my local DNS server. Over the weekend polo became a secondary DNS server. Testing on both boxes gives the same results when resolving both polo and xeon. Can you see any issues here: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ host xeon xeon.unixathome.org has address 192.168.0.18 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ host 192.168.0.18 18.0.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer xeon.unixathome.org [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ host polo polo.unixathome.org has address 192.168.0.23 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ host 192.168.0.23 23.0.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer polo.unixathome.org [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ host polo polo.unixathome.org has address 192.168.0.23 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ host 192.168.0.23 23.0.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer polo.unixathome.org [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ host xeon xeon.unixathome.org has address 192.168.0.18 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ host 192.168.0.18 18.0.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer xeon.unixathome.org [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ For now, the immediate problem is solved, but I'd sure like to know the cause because I'm sure it's going to bite me again. Any ideas?
